Wonderful property just outside the town. Steep hill from town and a car is necessary IMHO. Rooms immaculate. Staff polite. Low contact. Would highly recommend.

far too expensive for what you get!!
this is very expensive for what you get. they are charging top rates about £250 per night...I would expect a deluxe walk in shower instead the shower was in the bath. it was very difficult to regulate the water temperature either too hot or too cold and it was barely a dribble. I would expect sky tv we had a really old tv..the room was very clean but very dated. the bed was too soft. we turned up early and we were not made welcome. im not sure why this place qualifies for such a high price? not even a cooked breakfast all we got was some croissants and bread. its high up on top of a hill so can't walk into town, it is not near a beach.

Nice hotel but beware the hill !!
Check in was ok, would have been nice to have had a smile & a hello when we arrived. Felt like we had turned up unannounced. Rooms was very nice & clean, bed however is not a king size but a double. Hotel is at the top of a very steep hill & not within walking distance of Newlyn, at least not on the way back! A nice hotel but a little overpriced for what you get & the host doesn't give the most friendliest impression.

We had a lovely stay at Higher Faugan and the house and sprawling grounds are immaculate. Douglas, the owner was really hospitable and we loved the concept of having a continental breakfast pre-prepared and laid out in the room. It was also really useful to have a microwave, toaster and fridge that was stocked with milk, jam, butter, fruit juice and yoghurt. The only reason we are not giving our stay the full five stars is because my wife found the bed to be just too soft and ended up sleeping on the sofa! Apart from that, everything else was brilliant.

Lovely stay
Excellent place. Extremely clean. Every little thing thought of. Very comfortable stay. No issues at all with finding the place (Google maps has the right location). The road is also fine....narrow like most Cornwall roads are, but no problems. Doug was most helpful. Would definitely stay here again

A lovely place to stay in beautiful grounds. Liked the idea of breakfast in the room no rushing downstairs before breakfast finishes. The room was nicely furnished, bathroom was adequate, bed very comfy. Lots of information about surrounding area. Would stay there again.

Nice country hideout
This is a very nice country house in a beautiful setting so close to the Mount Bay. Yet it is hidden up the hills and has a private drive way. Doug the owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Very enjoyable stay indeed

Upgraded upon arrival to a double deluxe with beautiful views of the gardens.The cleanest hotel I have stayed at to date. Really well maintained generally. The hotel room itself is very spacious. All facilities including breakfast are already set up in the room with toaster, coffee maker etc which gave flexibility to me as I had early start in the morning. I would recommend you have your own transportation to get around but there is a train station in town centre around 20-30min walk from hotel. Visited the Minack theatre which was an amazing experience to watch a live theatre outdoors by the sea this was a 20 minute drive from hotel, Lands End around same time to get there, st ives is also 20-30 minute drive from hotel, long rock beach is where I had my first Cornish pasty !!

Wonderful location but be careful if using sat nav
Lovely historic hotel in a beautiful location. Only down side was their food was slow to arrive, though cannot complain about the meal. Their waiters were very apologetic as they were short staffed in their kitchen , hence delay. We made the mistake of using our sat nav to find the hotel and arrived by the rear entrance, which is easily missed, so ensure you follow hotel signs for Limpley Stoke Hotel. Would stay again if in area.

Charming hotel in a park-like setting
Hotel is well set back on a private one track driveway, and somewhat tricky to reach. But once there --wow, great place, tastefully refurbished, significant paintings by former owners (Stanhope Forbes & wife Elizabeth). The current owner (Doug) is helpful and engaging. We had a second floor suite, overlooking gardens. Modest continental breakfast in room (all provided, and self-serve).

why break end of Feb 2017
Not sure what the mix up was with booking through Expedia but as they covered the excess we are not complaining. Had a lovely stay in a very well equipped room Top type of your staying in room 1 A) turn the radiator off before going to sleep or you'll roast B) turn the fridge off before going to sleep or the on/off humming will drive you nuts C) take a dim torch as the Blackpool illuminations in the bathroom decidedly destroys any pretence of still asleep during the middle of the night piddle.

Lovely house set on a private oasis
My husband and I stayed here while in the area for a wedding. We spent 3 lovely and very comfortable nights. The house has about 8 rooms - and even though full - it felt like we had the house to ourselves. Its set on a beautiful estate, and the house and grounds are immaculately kept. Our host Douglas was friendly, professional and helpful.

Fantastic
This was a fabulous stay for amazing value. Short distance from the town centre with plenty of things to do. Staff were more than friendly and would go out of their way. Couldn't fault the room, everything was clean and tidy. Could ask for anything more with the food they had provided. Would highly recommend for couples.

Nice but could be better
The Hotel was lovely , but have to say the welcome we got from the owner was a little cold . He just said that because of a problem in the room we had booked we had been given an upgrade . I said thank you . We were then told that breakfast is taken in the room , and everything you need is in here . There was indeed , bread , toaster , fruit and jam . A sink , kettle , . BUT no tea towel , so we could not wash up ... The breakfast was adequate , if ... you are not Gluten intolerant . I think for the amount we paid , a cooked breakfast should have been on offer !!

Most Deluxe B & B
This is really a very high class bed & breakfast. The only minus for the place is that it is out in the boondocks, but you probably have to be remote to have such big beautiful grounds. The owner Doug is a really nice guy and does all hen can to please.
